How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Seal failure on CGI Sentinel insulated glass units. Miami’s humidity and salt air are unforgiving on dual-pane seals. When the desiccant inside the spacer bar saturates, the window fogs permanently between the panes. We replace the insulated glass unit (IGU) rather than trying to dry it out, which never holds. The fix is a new IGU matched to the original sightline, with fresh argon gas and a spacer rated for coastal exposure.
• Low-E coating degradation on CGI Estate Collection windows. Over a decade or more, Miami’s intense UV exposure can cause the low-E coating to oxidize, leaving a hazy film that won’t clean off. The glass still insulates, but it looks tired and transmits more heat. We replace the sash or the IGU depending on the frame condition, and we always confirm the new glass carries the same low-E spec as the original.
• Frame warping on CGI casement and awning windows in coral-adjacent neighborhoods. In Miami areas like Coral Gables and Pinecrest, the combination of high heat and moisture causes vinyl and aluminum frames to expand and contract aggressively. A window that binds in July often has a frame that’s slightly out of square from thermal cycling. We measure the rough opening, re-shim, and reset the frame so the sash closes flush and seals tight.
• Weatherstripping failure on CGI sliding glass doors. The gaskets CGI uses on sliding door panels break down faster in Miami than in drier climates. When the felt or vinyl pile flattens, the door leaks air and water. We replace the weatherstripping with commercial-grade material that holds up better to salt and sun, and we adjust the rollers so the panel sits square in the track.
• Condensation between panes on CGI impact-rated windows. Many Miami homeowners discover that impact-rated insulated units can still lose their seal, especially after a decade of storm-season pressure changes. The symptom is the same as any failed IGU: moisture you can’t wipe away. We replace the glass package while preserving the impact frame, so you keep your hurricane protection and get a clear view back.

Our CGI Energy-Efficient Windows Process

Every CGI job follows the same sequence, whether we’re swapping a fogged IGU or replacing a full window. Dale Kessler’s rule is simple: measure twice, order once, and put everything in writing.

1. 1
   The call and the questions. You reach a live person at (561) 489-4036. We ask for the CGI model, the approximate year of installation, and what you’re seeing. Some of it we can’t diagnose over the phone, but we can usually tell you whether a service call makes sense.
2. 2
   The on-site diagnostic. A background-checked technician arrives on time, in uniform. They inspect the glass, frame, seals, and rough opening. On CGI jobs, we’re looking specifically at seal integrity, frame square, and glass coating condition.
3. 3
   The parts decision. When possible, we use CGI OEM parts to keep your warranty intact. When an OEM part is discontinued or backordered for months, we’ll quote a quality aftermarket equivalent and tell you the difference in writing. No hidden substitutions, ever.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. Most single-window jobs are done in one visit. We set the new glass, re-glaze or re-gasket as needed, and test the operation. The area around the window is left clean and the old glass is hauled away.
5. 5
   The test and the paperwork. We check the seal, the operation, and the visible alignment. Then we register the manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave. You get a copy, we keep a copy, and the job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise.
